coffin by Michele Schottelkorbthere is a point of no return
ive heard it spoke of often
if you cannot recognize
might end up in a coffin
this is how ive come to see
my ever present plight
if my mind cannot exist
im ready for my flight
out of this world, and yours too
to nestle in my grave
for my child and my love
these words i hope youll save
i really did try my best
to make a difference here
but, alas, it cannot pass
my heart, a broken tear
